As I have said since the Egyptian Revolution, the United States supports a set of core principles, including opposition to violence, protection of universal human rights, and reform that meets the legitimate aspirations of the people. The United States does not support particular individuals or political parties, but we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law. Since the current unrest in Egypt began, we have called on all parties to work together to address the legitimate grievances of the Egyptian people, in accordance with the democratic process, and without recourse to violence or the use of force.

The United States is monitoring the very fluid situation in Egypt, and we believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people. Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian Armed Forces to remove President Morsy and suspend the Egyptian constitution. I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsy and his supporters. Given todays developments, I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law for our assistance to the Government of Egypt.

Nothing like a homosexual administration which gained power to promote homosexual agendas through corrupt democratic power mechanics to encourage a Muslim leaning foreign nation in their political turbulence to embrace democracy.

(It’s almost as convincing as posting women as Ambassadors to Muslim nations.)

I don’t know if he’s wrong or he’s right (though my reflex with him is that if he likes it, it must be bad, especially for the US), and I doubt that he knows, because I doubt that he’s all that concerned wth the “wrong and right” of it, at least from Egypt’s viewpoint. But isn’t it rather crass, in the 21st C, to openly state before the world to a sovereign nation, “cave, or no more dinero”? Won’t that put the back up of Egyptians, for him to call them on carpet, so to speak, in public?

This is one of those statements that says a lot while saying nothing. It is an anodyne statement that is meant to appeal to all sides without condemning anyone.

The major mistake was even mentioning US aid. Given todays developments, I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law for our assistance to the Government of Egypt.

It is a ham-handed approach that didn't need to be made public. It will not be well-received by any of the parties.

As the Egyptian military ends President Mohamed Morsis rule, Cruz points out that the ire of many people in the streets of Cairo is not reserved for the Muslim Brotherhood alone.

The people protesting in the streets were not only carrying anti-Morsi signs, Cruz writes. They were also carrying signs with slogans like Obama Supports Terrorism and Obama Supports Morsi, as well as pictures of the American ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson, with a large red X through her face.

Below are some examples of the pictures and signs carried by the enemies of Herr Obozo, the Egyptian People in Cairo.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." President Ronald Reagan
